<p>A distributed biometric identification system incorporates stand-alone workstations. The system generally includes a plurality of stand-alone workstations capable of communicating with a central server remotely located from the workstations. The workstations receive input biometric data, such as fingerprint and photographic data, and compares that data to biometric data stored in the workstation. The workstation compares the input biometric data with stored biometric data to determine whether any of the stored biometric data matches the input biometric data. The results of the comparison are provided to the workstation screen. Workstation mobility is improved by housing the workstation in a self-contained, compartmentalized carrying case. Workstation mobility may be even further enhanced by housing the workstation in a so-called lunchbox configuration having a main body, a front panel hinged to the main body, and a back panel hinged to the main body. The front and back panels each have a stowed position adjacent the main body, and a deployed position away from the main body. When the panels are in their stowed positions, the workstation (i.e., main body, front panel, and back panel) is a compact, portable unit.</p> |
